BRUNTWOOD BRIGADE - raced inside a track marker racing into the first bend after being crowded by AMASS having to be restrained. Over-raced middle stages. Stewards questioned driver J Dunn regarding the tactics he adopted in the early stages. Mr Dunn advised that the horse had worked hard when attempting to hold the lead after the start and when being unable to do so felt his best option was to shift outwards rounding the first bend and obtain the lead from AMASS. Mr Dunn added he had then been challenged near the 1450m by SACETAS and was of the opinion that he would be better suited restraining his runner to receive cover rather than having to work hard again to maintain his position. After considering the matter, Stewards noted Mr Dunn's comments.
